" Living the Dream "

Hi all and yes its been awhile since I have been on my little blog. As many of you know I have had some extensive shoulder surgery and unfortunately that has stopped me doing a lot of the things that I like to do.

I am on the road to recover so I am in the process of

playing catch up.

I wont be going into to many details on the next few post just so I can get in front.

This is a photo of myself and my hubby in Bali. I surprised him with a trip to Bali for his 50th birthday and our wedding anniversary. Yes we married on his birthday just so he wouldn't ever forget the day.

I picked up on the earthy colours in the photo for this one. Inked the background with yellow and green then heaps of stamping in black.

Lots of layers and added some Kaisercraft tags into the layer.

Yellow muslin and of course Punchinella and a clock or two. I love adding the gold

photo corners as you can see here.

All the chippy pieces were painted with green paint, I left 'the little bird natural

distressed and tore the edges then inked them.

I took a couple of strands of kitchen string and made a bow, really organic.

This is me

I am happily married with 3 grown children and 2 gorgeous litttle granddaughters. I live in the beautiful area of Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia.

I started this journey in scrapbooking in early 2012 at the insistence of my BFF.

Since that time I have entered many online challenge sites and actually won some. I have been published numerous times in Australian scrapbook magazines and have had a 4 page feature, which was very exciting.

Early this year I was asked to teach at my local scrapbook store which I now do once a week.

I love to go on scrap retreats with my 2 travelling scrap sisters. I have met some absolutely amazingly creative ladies along the way and now have some wonderful friends in scrapworld.

I can't wait to see where this thing called scrapbooking takes me in the future and with my new motto of " be true to yourself" the sky's the limit.

I must say " thank-you " to my wonderful hubby who is not only a wonderful supporter but also my unwavering enabler.
